Content management systems
Full control of your website content.
There are essentially two types of websites that we build - flat
websites and content managed websites. Flat websites are suitable
for those sites with a small amount of pages or those that will not
be updated regularly. They look just as good visually as content
managed sites and a user will generally not be able to tell weather
a site it flat or content managed.
Content management is the ability to update a website through an
administration system accessible through your browser window from
anywhere with an internet connection. The advantage of using a
content management system is that you are able to update the
information and images on your site when you need to.
A CMS system is good for sites which have frequently updated
content, such as latest news or features, a lot of articles
or an e-commerce store . Another good reason
to use a CMS is that search engines take site updates into account
when ranking websites so if you are doing regular site updates, you
are increasing your chances of getting a better Google
ranking.
Umbraco CMS
For new sites, our choice of content management system is the Umbraco CMS. Termed 'The friendly CMS', this an open source, easy to use content management system based on the Microsoft .Net framework. .Net is a powerful programming language in which a range of professional and robust internet applications are built and the Umbraco CMS is a professional level system which powerful integration of any .Net control.

Custom CMS creation
For larger applications and projects, we can also build fully
customised content management systems in .Net and have done so for
a number of clients. This is suitable for large projects or very
specific content management requirements where too much of an
existing CMS would have to be modified to be of benefit. Please
speak to us if you require a custom CMS for your
project.
Other CMS systems
Whilst we choose to integrate new websites with the Umbraco CMS,
we have experienced developers who have worked with a number of
other software systems for updating website content. If you have a
specific requirement for your content management, please contact
us.
